Ananas Reinette Apple Scionwood

This is a twig for grafting. Late Fall. Unknown parentage. Thought to have originated in France or Belgium as early as the 16th century. Became popular and widely planted in Germany during the 1800s.

Medium-sized rounded-conic, sometimes oblong, fruit has rich golden skin dotted with russet freckles. The name translates to ‘Royal Pineapple’ and the crisp fine-grained flesh is tangy, tart and sweet right off the tree with a citrusy pineapple flavor. These are good keepers; in storage the golden skin deepens to almost orange, while the flesh gets noticeably sweeter without losing its zest. Also good for cooking and pressing.

Used as a pollen parent for its bold flavors by famous breeder Albert Etter. Naturally small trees are nice for home gardens. Blooms midseason. Z4.

Additional Information

Scionwood

Scions are twigs, not trees. They have no roots and will not grow if you plant them. They are cuttings from dormant branch tips, intended for spring grafting.

We do our best to provide ¼" caliper stock. Because of factors beyond our control (such as weather!) stock may be ³⁄₁₆–³⁄₈".

We sell scionwood in two ways:

By the stick: One 8" stick will graft 3-4 trees.
By the foot: Minimum order of 10 feet per variety. For orchardists grafting large numbers of trees of a particular variety. In our own nursery work, we are usually able to graft 6-8 trees from one foot of scionwood.

You can graft right away or store scionwood for later use. It will keep quite well for several weeks stored in sealed ziplock bags in the refrigerator.

The deadline for ordering scionwood is February 21, 2025, for shipment around March 10. (Please note: we ship scionwood only in mid-March. If you would like to order rootstock to arrive in the same shipment, select mid-March shipping when adding the rootstock to your cart.)
